The value of (current-directory) upon entry to start is the htdocs directory inside the web-server collection, not the directory that Racket started in (as for other Racket programs) or the directory containing the program.

Unfortunately this works out poorly for the Continue tutorial, which uses (current-directory) and web-server/insta.

I see a few options:

  • Change the tutorial to use serve/servlet and #:servlet-current-directory
  • Change web-server/insta to set the current directory.
  • Change the tutorial to use define-runtime-path, as in my suggestion on the mailing list.

I feel like it is plausible that web-server/insta could change... it feels like it is unlikely to be on the critical path of anyone's work to assume this about the cwd. I think it would be fine to change the tutorial to use d-r-p, although maybe too complicated. I don't think the tutorial should use serve/servlet, unless it is part of a bigger transition in the tutorial to that library.

Change it to (current-directory-for-user), then the directory will be the current one
